I've been looking forward to this app for quite literally years, but when I tried to get it I am told that my iPod Touch 2nd Generation is too old! Well sooooorrry that I can't afford anything better!
Seriously, though, what about this app is incompatible with the older iDevices? As far as I could tell it pretty much just incorporated the Community and Store features.
Sorry, Valve, I'm just a little disappointed, that's all.

You must spoof the SystemVersion.plist file to bypass the firmware / hardware requirement. (Jailbreak / SSH / full filesystem access required).
I do not recommend doing this if you don't know what you're doing.

First, connect to the computer using USB and ensure the device is charging. Complete a full sync & backup with iTunes.

The file you need to modify is located at ./System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plistChange ProductBuildVersion and ProductVersion to 8J2 and 4.3.3 respectively.
Reboot your device.
It will show the firmware upgrade progress bar briefly and proceed to reboot itself once more. After about 2 minutes, it'll return to SpringBoard and ask for the PIN code like normal.

Oh god, thank. I didn't wanted to jailbrake it, neither to buy a new one, even the HTC Sensation XE was a good choice just because of this app.
You should make a Steam Phone just for games and this app :P
